UNDRESS & UNLEARN – POETRY OF LEBOHANG NOVA MASANGO
The piece “To Do List for Africa” literally had me shed a tear around 2:25. Doubling as a political manifesto and a lesson in self-love this poem is a tool for strength on both an individual and community level.

Her command of words, the mic, and content is the kind of thing that makes me want to read and want to show my love. Finding online examples of her work is no easy task, but it is well worth it. You can really tell that she has dealt with some heavy emotions too, and that she isn’t afraid to call it out and speak to it. On the other hand, this girl knows how to have fun and is always stylin’. So catch her on tumblr, holla on twitter, and who knows? You may just come across poetic bits to help you face your own deepest anxieties about love (or just pictures of her remixing Danny Brown 😉 ).
Browntourage luv,
